This wasn't recent, but I remember this one time in English class when the teacher brought up the acronym PEEL while we were going over how to write an essay or something. I don't really remember what it stood for, probably because of the initial shock and excitement.

I passed by a Seagram's Strawberry Daquiri beverage at the end of an aisle at Safeway the other evening. I was about to purchase it, as it seemed like a pleasant way to end the day, until an employee told me that they had more flavors elsewhere in the store, including a fuzzy navel one.

Hey bar keep, I'll have a fuzzy navel and she'll have the girliest drink in the house.

Two fuzzy navels coming up!

(I had never had a daquiri nor a fuzzy navel before, nor any beverages flavored as such. When the employee mentioned the term "fuzzy navel," however, there was no doubt which variety I was fated to purchase and consume.)

So, Skype conversation I was having earlier today, regarding a sim-racing league that I am a member of, and we're all having a get together in early December in a bar in Cardiff, only right now there's a major split going on and tensions are high, so the guy I was talking to, who is kinda in the middle of this fallout, jokedly suggests that we should find another bar and set up our own, anti-league meeting, to which I am tasked, I am tasked to exclaim "with Blackjack! And Hookers!!!"

Yeah, I see Futurama references everywhere and they usually make me smile.

A co-worker from 10+ years ago and I stay in touch on FB. He lives on a boat, and posted a photo of his cat getting into a cupboard with a comment along the lines of "Bender found the kitty treats". Knowing nothing about his show interests, I replied tentatively: "Bender, as in Bender bending Rodriguez? and attached a screencap of Bender.

Yep, kitty is named after the character, and I still have no idea what led to his naming the cat Bender

The Neutopia episode had a lot of promise but the execution was somewhat grating to watch because it was very heavy-handed and over the top. Still, I enjoyed most of it.

Also, Zapp was not amongst the characters that had their gender switched. THAT would have been a blast to see, though I suppose Zapp's personality might have dominated the episode to the exclusion to the other characters.

In a medical situation, if I ever had any suspicion that one of the staff were Futurama fans, there's no way I could keep from looking them in the eye with a dead serious face and asking "Give it to me straight, doc. Is it fin rot? It's fin rot, isn't it? Tell me it's not fin rot!"
